It's free and most likely on your way already... but if not, simply don't bother. The building has a very nice, modern design from the outside, but really nothing to expect in it..
There is a very nice tarasse on the side of the building... but it's obviously closed and not available for tourists. Such a waste.
The exhibition was...

It's open later (til 6:30) than most of the other sites so a visit would be easy to add to your day. The exterior is interesting but the interior soars! There were three exhibits at the time of my visit: photography from the 1950s (good selection, well presented), contemporary photography (not my taste), and Soviet posters from WWII (with the...
